Qin Yining's pleading made the Sun Clan's heart waver.
She didn't expect that there were so many intertwined relationships secretly influencing each other in a matter that she thought was Qin Yining's fault.
She found it difficult to understand such a complicated matter, but Qin Yining could figure it out by himself. Looking at Duchess Ding's appreciative and happy smiling face, the Sun Clan knew how much Qin Yining liked him now.
The Sun Clan had never felt that they were stupid. As a woman of the inner residence, she had always thought that it was enough to take care of the inner residence. Now, she felt that Qin Yining's matter had enlightened her.
The Sun Clan murmured, "I didn't expect that the affairs of the inner residence would be affected by the previous dynasty."
Hearing this, Duchess Ding wanted to hold her forehead again.
"Isn't it obvious? The wind in the imperial court moves the grass in the inner residence. You've met Qin Meng, who is kind. If it were other families, you would know how the affairs of the imperial court would affect the inner residence if there were more concubines from different families in the inner residence. Sister Yi has begged you so much. Why don't you agree to go back? "
The Sun Clan looked down at Qin Yining, who was full of expectation, and nodded slowly. "Well, for the sake of your sincerity and for fear of embarrassing your father in front of the Crown Prince, I'd better go back."
Hearing this, Duchess Ding breathed a sigh of relief.
The Sun Clan didn't understand, but she did. Qin Yining came here to give the Sun Clan a way out.
This time, it was the Sun Clan's fault. Not only did they take the initiative to stir up trouble, but they also offended old Madam Qin and Qin Meng. It was impossible to count on the in-laws to pick them up, so they could only find a way out themselves. If Qin Yining didn't come to kneel and beg, Duke Ding's Mansion would have to give them a way out sooner or later. At that time, they would have to lower their status and embarrass the Sun Clan in front of the Family Qin.
Thinking of this, Duchess Ding couldn't help but say, "Calm down and think about it. Sister Yi is so sensible that she wronged herself to give you a way out. But what about the one in the mansion?"
"Sister Yi came immediately after she was released from confinement. The one in the mansion wasn't confined! Why didn't she say anything when you lived in her maiden home for so many days? She didn't even send someone to ask! When you left her home, she said she didn't want to see you. But when you really went back to her maiden home, she shrank her neck and didn't care about you! Both daughters are yours, but you should have seen clearly what kind of characters they have, right? "
Speaking of this, Duchess Ding helped Qin Yining up. "Sister Yi, come with me. Your mother needs to be alone. Let's go inside and sit."
Qin Yining looked back at the Sun Clan worriedly. Then she followed Duchess Ding to the inner room, leaving the outer room to the Sun Clan.
The Sun Clan kept replaying Duchess Ding's words in her mind, and her expression changed a few times.
Qin Yining and Duchess Ding were sitting next to each other on the Ru Yi Inscribed Arhat Bed by the window.
Duchess Ding took Qin Yining's hand and said, "Sister Yi, you are a good child. Grandmother knows you have been wronged."
Qin Yining shook her head repeatedly. "How can I be wronged? I am very satisfied to be able to come home and serve my family. I know my mother's dilemma. Even if her blood flows in my body, it is difficult for her to accept the fact that her biological son was swapped. Moreover, my mother has been trying to accept me. This time, I did make a mistake and made my mother angry. That's why she is like this. "
"You child." Duchess Ding's dry and warm hand touched Qin Yining's satin long hair that was draped over her back. Her heart felt as if it had been rubbed by someone.
She had been wronged, but she kept saying good things for her biological mother.
Perhaps it was because they were close, or perhaps it was because they were really fated, Duchess Ding really loved Qin Yining in her heart at this time.
Qin Yining thought for a moment and said, "Grandmother, I have two more things to tell you. You are experienced and knowledgeable, so you must know what to do best."
Duchess Ding had always been patient with the younger generation's advice, not to mention that it was Qin Yining, who she liked.
Duchess Ding smiled lovingly, took Qin Yining's hand, and put the brass hand warmer carved with rose flowers in Qin Yining's hand.
"What's the problem? Tell me."
Qin Yining smiled gratefully and put the hand warmer in Duchess Ding's hand. The two of them held a hand warmer together.
"Grandmother, it's like this. I've arranged for Miss Tang to stay at the Cloud Treading Inn for the time being. She's already wholeheartedly accepted me as her master and will serve me in the future. She's well-versed in medicine, so I'd like to bring her along with me. I want to find a time to renounce secular life for her. Grandmother, do you think this is a good arrangement? "
"Are you worried that your father won't like the relationship between the Tang family and the Qingliu family?"
It was easy to talk to smart people.
Qin Yining nodded with a smile. "Yes, I'm also afraid that it will affect the relationship between the Duke's Mansion, the Cao family, and Prince Ning."
Duchess Ding said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. Now the situation in the imperial court is stable, and Prince Ning said that he would give her to you. I think the Musical House won't come to ask for her without the Emperor's decree. As for the Cao family, although Grand Tutor Cao is no longer the Grand Tutor, his power in the imperial court is still there. Their artillery fire is now directed at Prince Ning and your father, so they won't care about a little girl like you for the time being. "
"Miss Tang is a poor child, and you two are destined to meet. If she is willing to treat you sincerely, it's good for you to take her with you. As for other things, we can take one step at a time. "
In fact, what Duchess Ding said had been hovering in Qin Yining's mind for a long time. Although she had thought about it, the words from Duchess Ding's mouth inexplicably made her feel at ease.
"Yes, I see." Qin Yining burst into a big smile, and the small dimples on her cheeks made her look extremely lovely. "With your help, I feel like I have a backbone."
"Silly girl." Duchess Ding put her arm around Qin Yining's shoulder and shook it.
This child had been alone for many years, and she had to make her own decisions, whether big or small. But she lived alone outside. She was afraid that every decision would affect her future and life. No matter how smart this child was, no matter how correct the path she chose was, it was inevitable that she would panic when she was alone, right?
She analyzed in this way, but she had never had anyone to rely on over the years. No wonder she showed such a satisfied smile in her arms now.
Her smile and dependence made Duchess Ding feel sour and numb in her heart. Her eyes were hot, and she felt so distressed that she was about to cry.
Qin Yining didn't notice Duchess Ding's situation, so she turned and said, "Grandma, I have one more thing to ask you."
"What is it? Just say it," Duchess Ding said with a smile.
Qin Yining roughly told her how Ruilan left the mansion.
Duchess Ding frowned as she listened, and the wrinkles between her eyebrows became deeper. "I didn't expect Qin Huining to be like this! She was disregarding human life for the sake of her own momentary pleasure! We have never had such a girl in our family who can frame innocent people! "
Duchess Ding stood up and paced a few steps. She frowned and said, "Sister Yi, let me deal with this matter."
Qin Huining was the adopted daughter of the Sun Clan. No matter what she did, others would not say that Qin Huining was bad. They would only say that the Sun Clan's upbringing was not good. Although she scolded the Sun Clan, as a mother, she had to think about her daughter.
Qin Yining immediately understood what Duchess Ding was thinking. She nodded and said, "Grandma, you can teach Miss Huining however you want. But I already have a plan this time."
Duchess Ding raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining told her about her arrangements. Finally, she stuck out her tongue and said, "When the time comes, I'll have to use your name to speak."
"You!" Duchess Ding chuckled. She liked Qin Yining's way of not forgetting to save people's lives when she fought back. She smiled and tapped Qin Yining's forehead. "Let you, little girl, do whatever you want."
"Yes, thank you, grandma." Qin Yining stood up and bowed with a smile.
Looking at the delicate and pretty girl in front of her, Duchess Ding liked her a little more.
One was kind and filial, while the other was selfish and vicious. Although these two children were both smart and beautiful, when comparing their characters, she couldn't help but favor Qin Yining.
"Mother." At this time, the Sun Clan came to the door of the inner room with an embarrassed expression.
Duchess Ding felt depressed when she saw the Sun Clan's appearance. She said angrily, "What do you want?"
"Mother, I've ordered people to pack up everything." The implication was that they could go back to Qin's Mansion at any time.
Duchess Ding couldn't help rolling her eyes.
She had been anxious to go back for a long time, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. This time, Qin Yining cooperated and gave her a way out, so she naturally took advantage of it.
"Go. Go back and think about what I said. "
"Yes." The Sun Clan lowered his head.
Duchess Ding ordered people to prepare the carriage and personally tidied up Qin Yining's cloak. Then she said, "I'll arrange for you to take Miss Tang to return to the secular world. The Taoist temple Miss Tang will go to is called the Immortal Lady Temple. It's not far from the capital city, and I know the abbot. Well, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow after I've arranged it. I'll also go to the Immortal Lady Temple to perform the ritual."
Qin Yining looked at Duchess Ding in surprise and said, "Grandmother, how can I do that? I have to trouble you to go all the way."
"What are you afraid of? I'm also bored. I want to go out for a walk without so many people. It's quiet. You don't have to think too much. When the time comes, you can come with me so that no one will bully you." Duchess Ding thought for a moment and said, "I'll only take you with me tomorrow. I won't take anyone else with me."
The Sun Clan said shyly, "Mother, you won't even take me with you?"
"Why should I take you with me? You don't have to make me angry in front of me. Tomorrow, I'll take my Sister Yi out to relax. "
Qin Yining nodded with a smile and happily said goodbye to Duchess Ding. He followed the Sun Clan all the way back to the Family Qin in the carriage. He couldn't help laughing on the way.
